Are you already worried about just paying for college? Arrange a tour of Raisbeck Aviation High School! Consistently ranked among the top six high schools in Washington State, Raisbeck is a unique public STEM school that is open to students from around the state. While 50% of the entering freshman are selected from the Highline School District, the remainder are selected from outside the school district. Kids from all over the state enjoy the benefit of a prep school experience for public school rates: free! Located directly across the street from the Seattle Museum of Flight RAHS, students enjoy free use of the museum and tons of unique aviation industry supported "hands on" learning and networking opportunities. Acknowledged by parents and students as the "hardest fun they will ever have", this school is amazing!

As someone who has attended this school, I would not recommend it whatsoever. The communication at…read morethis school was really bad, many people got in trouble for the most dumbest things, all because they never explained what the rules were at that school. They were also very protective when it came to the students and their social media outside of school. In their guidebook, it stated that if a student posts anything that doesn't represent the Spiritual culture, then the student will earn either detention or suspension. Very not necessary... The atmosphere of the other students there is also very toxic. There was bullying happening, inappropriate photos of women being spread, and lots of people talking badly about one another. And the staff or principal did nothing to help or fix it. I would not recommend this school at all.

And teachers don't really give the time that students need on tests. And every student is different in their own way with their own preferences. One teacher would give only 50% when students don't finish their test by the time. Also, all kids in the same grade have to take the same level of bible class. In the bible class the bible that the school offered me has words that are too small. Sometimes I couldn't even understand the words. So therefore: This school should give kids hard copy test if they need it and the time they need.

He was getting bored with math in…read moreSeattle Public Schools, and found that the math taught at RSM was much more intellectually stimulating-- the classes moved faster, the teachers went deeper into the subjects, and there was an emphasis on problem-solving. I felt that the teachers and principles saw my son as a person and sincerely tried to advise the best for him when it came to class sequencing. They were responsive to my questions and always got back to me. One year, when we were trying to decide which classes to take, one of the teachers even created a powerpoint specific to my son and scheduled a zoom conference so that the three of us could go over it together. I am grateful to RSM for making math fun for my son, when the public schools were not. Also, as a side note, there are some very excellent Chinese restaurants and a Mercury's coffee to eat at while waiting for your child during their math class!

I know that this review is pretty long. Just consider the list of alumni as extra credit reading…read more FHS is currently the oldest high school amongst the twelve high schools in the Seattle School District. FHS first opened its doors in 1912 in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and it was designed in the Neoclassical/Greek Revival style by Seattle School District architect, Edgar Blair. The school was once deemed the most beautiful high school west of the Mississippi and featured at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. The other basics: Mascot: Quakers Annual: Tolo* Colors: Green and Black Newspaper: Tolo * = Tolo is a Native American (Kalapuya) word that means: "to win, excel, gain, prevail, earn, control, convince, overcome, subdue, triumph, and succeed." Call me a freak, but I did enjoy my years in high school. I know that at times it was awkward, but I generally loved being an actively engaged student at Franklin. May it be the various clubs, athletics and the like; I definitely made the most of it. Oh, I did a lot of studying too! The school curriculum hasn't changed from I have seen. They still offer many honors, advance placement and humanities classes. I could go on about athletics at Franklin, but that would be a review in itself. Suffice to say, FHS has excelled in sports with numerous city and state championships. One thing I didn't know is that Franklin has the most players from western Washington to play in the NFL (8). FHS also feature a powerhouse Mock Trial team. One thing that I do remember about school was the diversity. FHS has always been one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in Washington. Former student, and Nobel Prize winner, George Hitchings ('23) said it best in his biography: "My experiences at Franklin High School in Seattle were notable for another reason. We had a most heterogeneous population, one that blended upper class and minorities including blacks, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and first generation Catanians. As a result I lost any self-consciousness I felt in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds." I didn't know what a Catanian was and had to look it up. Catania is a city in Sicily. That makes sense because Rainier Valley, where the school is located, was known as "Garlic Gulch." This concludes the formal part of this review. The rest is just extra credit. The following is just a small sample of distinguished Quaker alumni: Medicine: George Hitchings ('23) - Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Considered to be the pioneer in the biochemical approach to chemotherapy. Dr. William Hutchinson ('27) - Cancer research specialist and founder of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Business & Government: Gary Locke ('68) - Former King County Deputy Prosecutor, King County Executive and two-term governor of Washington. Alfred Moen ('34) - Inventor and founder of Moen Faucets. Everett W. Nordstrom ('19) - Took over his father's shoe company in 1928 with his two brothers and turned a local company into a national clothing retail empire. Nordstrom is the largest shoe retailer in the United States. The Nordstrom family is also responsible for bringing the NFL to Seattle and were the first owners of the Seahawks. Victor Steinbrueck ('28) - Architect. Designer of the Space Needle and saved the Pike Place Market from destruction. He was a force for preserving the architectural heritage of Seattle. Journalism: Royal Brougham ('12) - Sports writer and former editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Some of you may recognize his name because the street that runs between Qwest Field and Safeco Field is named after him. Emmet Watson ('37) - Columnist that worked for many of Seattle's newspapers that include the Seattle Star, P-I and Times. Noted author and champion of Lesser Seattle. Stephanie Stokes Oliver ('70) - Author, publisher, and former editor of Essence Magazine.
